Natasha Posted December 18, 2015 Report Share Posted December 18, 2015 We both need new reading glasses -- no need for fancy prescriptions -- BUT we insist on being able to try them on! This rules out WalMart (and for that matter CostCo). Have not been thrilled with those at Farmacia Guadalajara. Anyone have knowledge of where one can look Lakeside and actually try them on? (Dr. Rios does not have any .. already checked.) Gracias! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Leonard Posted December 18, 2015 Report Share Posted December 18, 2015 Pharmacy Cristina, which is just past the El Torito supermarket. I believe they cost 60 pesos each and you can try them on. http://www.chapala.com/farmaciacristina.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudgirl Posted December 18, 2015 Report Share Posted December 18, 2015 I live in PV area, and around here, you can find them in most Mexican dollar stores (TODO POR 25 PESOS!) for 25 pesos. Usually on a rack near the front, or the little skinny ones that come in a case on the counter. Surprising what you can find in those places, actually, like steel wool, which I had been looking for at hardware and paint stores, and they had no idea what I was talking about.

jrod Posted December 18, 2015 Report Share Posted December 18, 2015 It's been about a year, but the dollar store on the plaza had a nice selection and you can try them on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suegarn Posted December 18, 2015 Report Share Posted December 18, 2015 I bought several pair at the dollar store in the Ajijic Plaza. Best price for reading glasses that I've found around here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LifeNo5 Posted December 18, 2015 Report Share Posted December 18, 2015 I bought three pair from seller at Wednesday Tianguis in Ajijic two with nice metal frames. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natasha Posted December 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2015 Thanks to all. Price is not the main issue -- durability is. We find the Farmacia Guad ones not to last well, and some bought on the street in Guad lasted about 2 weeks! But will definitely try Farmacia Cristina, and the store in Ajijic Plaza..... maybe we'll have better luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dichosalocura Posted December 19, 2015 Report Share Posted December 19, 2015 The optical store walking north, half a block before the bus station in Chapala has them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shrimplover Posted December 20, 2015 Report Share Posted December 20, 2015 I am super happy with the ones I bought at Express Pharmacy. They are right on the counter and you can try them on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natasha Posted December 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2015 Are you talking about the Farmacia Expres near the Oxxo at east side of San Antonio on the highway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solajijic Posted December 21, 2015 Report Share Posted December 21, 2015 I have 2. 2.5 and 3 - a bunch of them since I leave them everywhere, need them all over the house and the strength I need changes with tired etc.. These are like regular glass, a couple are sunglasses, lots of colors with flexible ears. Joy Mangano off Amazon. I can do without a few of them.
